Why This Fundraiser Matters: The Impact of Alzheimer’s Disease
Alzheimer’s disease currently affects around 6 million Americans, with numbers expected to rise significantly in the coming years as the population ages. Families often find themselves overwhelmed, not knowing where to turn for support. By participating in events like the Carnival for a Cure, community members can contribute to solutions that lead to better care and resources for those in need.
